Japan finished second in the group and advanced to the round of 16 of the Asian Cup.

Japan won 3-1, led by Ayase Ueda's multi-goal performance, in the final third match of Group D of the Asian Cup against Indonesia held at Altumama Stadium in Doha, Qatar on the 24th. Japan, with 2 wins and 1 loss (6 points), advanced to the round of 16 in second place in Group D, following Iraq (3 wins, 9 points), which won 2-1 over Vietnam on the same day. Japan will play the round of 16 against the team ranked first in Group E at 8:30 p.m. on the 31st.

The final ranking in Group E will be determined based on the results of the two final three games, kicking off at 8:30 pm on the 25th. Two teams, Korea and Jordan, are competing for first place in Group E.

Japan took the lead 6 minutes after the game started with a penalty kick taken by Ueda himself. But Indonesia was no slouch either. The team finished the first half without conceding any additional goals thanks to a 'two-line defense' and prepared for the second half.

Indonesia went on the offensive against Japan in the early part of the second half, but Ueda came out again this time. He scored an additional right-footed goal in the 7th minute of the second half, quelling Indonesia's counterattack. In the 43rd minute of the second half, Ueda scored an own goal from Indonesian defender Justin Hubner, increasing the lead to 3 points.

Indonesia, led by coach Shin Tae-yong, avoided a scoreless defeat by making up for one goal with Sandy Walsh's goal in extra time in the second half. Indonesia, which finished the group stage in 3rd place in Group D with 1 win and 2 losses (3 points), has the possibility of advancing to the round of 16 depending on the performance of the 3rd place teams in Groups E and F in the final match.

In the Asian Cup group stage, where a total of 24 teams are divided into 6 groups, the 1st and 2nd place teams in each group, as well as the 4 teams with the best scores among the 6 third place teams, can also join the round of 16. Syria, ranked 3rd in Group B, and Palestine, ranked 3rd in Group C, both secured 4 points, qualified for the round of 16. Indonesia can advance to the round of 16 if Bahrain (1 win, 1 loss), ranked 3rd in Group E, loses to Jordan by more than 3 goals, or if Oman (1 draw, 1 loss), ranked 3rd in Group F, draws or loses to Kyrgyzstan. 고스톱
